BajaNomad - I've entered a contest...

I've entered a contest...

Paulina - 10-8-2011 at 12:22 PM

...and need some votes! The grand prize is a $50. gift card for Miner's Ace hardware. If I win I plan on using the $ towards a new skill saw. (If I don't win I'm still going to end up buying one, a to me from me birthday present.)

My Nomad amigos who have Facebook accounts can help me towards my skill saw reward by "liking" my entry photo on Miner's Ace Hardware's fb page.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Miners-Ace-Hardware/107375878...

The contest is over on Sunday, Oct. 16th. Winner announced on the 17th.

Mil Gracias in advance!

I get to Miner's Wall but can't find your picture. How do I identify it?

When I click the link that (now) is in Paulina's post, it takes you right to her painting (Pumpkin Patch of Peanuts fame).

Here's a photo that I took this morning, not the exact photo that I entered in the contest, but you can't miss it!

Thank you!

I 'like' you. Good luck!

Buena Suerte, amiga.

DianaT - 10-8-2011 at 02:18 PM

Task accomplished----but if you win that skill saw, I hope to see Pig-Pen included in your next Peanuts display---he always was my favorite. :-)

Good Luck!

Bob and Susan - 10-8-2011 at 02:36 PM

"Like" = Done!

Gypsy Jan - 10-8-2011 at 02:45 PM

Thanks guys, I have my fingers crossed! As far as additions to the Peanuts gang, I plan on making more. The original Charlie Brown in his ghost costume with too many eye holes cut out, as well as Lucy in her green witch mask were lost in a move. The Charlie Brown in the photo was borrowed from the Christmas set that will replace this one come December. Pig-Pen was also a ghost, a very dirty, dusty brown one. I'll be sure to make him too! I made these in 1995. With the help of Miner's hardware I'm able to put them up year after year, ie the touch up paint, mounting hardware and electrical goodies. The giant pumpkins were a steal at $12. ea at Nipomo pumpkin patch. We filled the back of Dern's toyota with the pumpkins in the photo as well as two other large ones (over 200lbs) for my classroom. I think I'm addicted to this pumpkin patch. If Dern weren't working on his lumber rack today I'd have already made another trip. I couldn't talk him into taking the Grandby off of my truck. I think he was afraid of what I would come home with if he did.

Thank you again for all of your encouragement!

Paulina the artist!

Sorry, not a good photo... In July, 2001 at Cielito Lindo was M's BBBB #1... Paulina painted a perfect Amigos de Baja logo that was displayed in our group photo (it's on the left). El Camote filmed/ taped her making it for his video of the event:

the link takes me to miners wall. can't find your photo and can't see any link on the wall for other photos entered in the contest.

oladulce - 10-8-2011 at 06:28 PM

ok, i'm an idiot but I can't find the photos on the Miner's hardware FB page? Paulina's link takes me to their FB main page only???

Paulina - 10-8-2011 at 06:40 PM

Well I tried to solve this mystery by going on Dern's laptop using the link I provided. I too got the Miner's main fb page, but didn't see my photo. One other photo came up, a house painting project.

Dern doesn't have a fb account. After I logged into fb on his laptop my photo came up.

Were you signed in to fb when you clicked on my link?

I don't know if that helps any, but I appreciate that you tried!

i tried the link signed on to facebook and not signed on. checked all photos and none are titled contest.

good luck, hope you win!

David K - 10-8-2011 at 10:16 PM

Maybe because I am on Facebook or maybe because Paulina is one of my FB friends, but that link takes me right to her photo in her homepage (or whatever it is called).

Skipjack Joe - 10-8-2011 at 10:42 PM

Could not find your picture as well. Searched everywhere ...

Mulegena - 10-8-2011 at 11:27 PM

Couldn't find your entry either, Paulina.

"Liked" the hardware store and found a schoolchum also "Likes" that hardware store. Small world!

We'd love to help you, and its a great little holiday scene, but we can't find.

oladulce - 10-9-2011 at 06:31 AM

When I click on your link it opens FB and automatically signs me in to my FB account. But it takes me to the Miner's Hardware homepage, not Paulina's "wall" as DavidK describes. If we all have to be your friends to vote, you're going to be busy!

Paulina - 10-9-2011 at 12:18 PM

I have no idea why the photo shows up for some and not others. The voting is not on my personal wall, it's on Miner's Ace Hardware's FB page or "wall". Beneath their row of shop photos at the very top of their wall there is a blue bar. One can click on one of two links there; Miner's Ace Hardware or Everyone(most recent). When I click on the Miner's link there are no photos. When I click on the Everyone most recent link my photo shows up.

I guess it's a mystery. I figure that if I was meant to win I will. If not, it was a good try. I still want my new saw though!

Ken Bondy - 10-9-2011 at 01:39 PM

You are LIKED!!!! Is there a way to "like" it more than once?

El Camote - 10-9-2011 at 02:35 PM

Same problem for me. No pics even though signed in. I think you need to friend several thousand nomads.

On another note, this alleged upcoming birthday, it wouldn't be a monumental one would it? :tumble:

Regarding friend requests, bring 'em on!

Regarding monumental birthdays, I found an AARP application in my mailbox on Friday. Serious.

Oh wait, I got the same application a few months ago... :no:
